Ara Project

At Smartphones touting solutions All- in-One, Motorola wants to make a different solution, which would leave the choice to the users to adjust their mobile at their convenience. Looks like a gamble? Isn’t it? Motorola has announced that one of its development teams, the "Ara Project” team was currently developing open hardware platform, designed to allow the creation of flexible Smartphones.

It is nothing but do it yourself Smartphone. From Motorola, you can select everything that you wanted to “do for the hardware that the Android platform has done for software." It's ambitious, but also risky: create a third ecosystem of hardware is not easy, although this decision may eventually allow, entering the Smartphone market versatile and customized to the extreme.


The user could have access to a Smartphone designed for its use, with features that deliberately selected at a price commensurate with his budget. Of course, the idea is not new, but it is currently found no real response from the general public. Maybe the strike force of Motorola, passed under the umbrella of Google, could allow it to perpetuate the idea? On our side, would you be willing to yield to the call of such a motive, shaped according to our needs and want?

The Very Best of Current Design Trends for Commercial Interiors

You may not realise quite how challenging designing interiors for commercial properties can be. It is a tricky old job – the design that is submitted has to be efficient as well as cost effective, even though the space in question must have the perfect balance of engagement and fun, all while making sure it is unique and not derivative.
To make things even more complicated, the majority of companies will want your design to incorporate some part of their own branding, whether that be a particular colour scheme or a motif consisting of their logo. It’s a balancing act, that’s for sure!
Some of the most popular current trends in the world of commercial interior design are adaptable and able to suit the shifting tastes of the consumer. Here are some of the very best.
Get Quirky with Your Combos!
One thing you can expect to see a lot more of this year, and in the next few years, is a great variety of combination styles. Think quirky, think unorthodox, think unusual! Look forward to special, unique touches that help a space in really standing out from the herd (read: competition).
Surely it can only be a good thing, providing a breath of fresh air away from the more formulaic options that you often see. Although it sounds odd on paper, one of our personal favourites involves using mismatching tiles – it needs to be done with care, but when pulled off correctly expect a dramatic finish.
Super-Size Your Geometrics
Don’t go in to 2014 expecting to see small scale designs – their time has been and gone, and next year will be the year of the super-scale! Sure, you’ll still see the occasional small geometric pattern skulking around hospitals, but the bold, striking personalities of super-scale are here to stay.
Such large geometric patterns are bound to leaving a lasting impression on any visitor, so companies are sure to take advantage of this in the coming months, in order to make a strong statement.
Form Trumps Function
Think of any office in the history of ever – function has always, always triumphed over form. There are simple reasons for this: if you’re sitting at the computer all day long, do you want a chair that looks stylish or one which comfortably supports you? The answer is obvious.
However, nowadays we are in the privileged position where we can afford to have products that tick off the boxes for both form and function. Take a look at the Innova Design website for some inspiration. Ensuring that you’re comfortable whilst working is essential for any working office, school or workplace, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to compromise your design.
Ergonomic furniture is where’s it’s at in the here and now. Not only does it tend to look pretty fab, but these pieces are built to give you comfort and support. Adjustable arm rests, monitor arms, standing desks, lumbar support… Anything you could ask for, it is available alongside stunning good looks.

Firefox 25 adds Web Audio API support



Firefox 25
Mozilla has released Firefox 25th with new encouragement in web audio and with more enhanced for JavaScript support. The list of the new features of Firefox 25 is comparatively short. But in addition to the support of web audio for processing audio data in Mozilla calls a change in the behavior of the search field. Each tab now has its own search box; so that its contents change when tab changes.

Firefox will not revise it for several months, the browser asks the future whether to apply settings and of course any other browser. Firefox can be reset but it no longer deletes the surf session. Support for HTML5 and CSS3 is particularly improved. Control scrolling background with "background- attachment: local" will include more developers, as well as the implementation of new JavaScript functions.

For the rest, Mozilla announced the autonomous operation of the search of a tab to another, better support iframe, some bug fixes and the ability to recover the session, even after a reset Firefox. Now also support the CSS3 property background-attachment, affecting the scrolling behavior of the background. The developer claims to have integrated many new features from ECMAScript 6 (ES6).

Content of iframes in Firefox 25 can also be specified inline, so that no second call must be made to fill an iFrame.In terms of innovations, Firefox 25 presents thin. Although missed the Mozilla browser in some places a meaningful fine-tuning, but the surf does not enrich the everyday. New in Firefox 25 is the way to start a separate search query in each tab. Until now there was only a single search for all tabs.

If you have not used Firefox for months and instead tried a different browser then in such a case, Firefox will ask you from now on, if you want to import the data as incurred history and settings from another browser into Firefox. Finally, note that contrary to what was announced as a first step, the arrival of the new user interface has indeed been postponed again.

It will be deployed as from version 28 of Firefox that should land around March. Called Australis, the new interface has been postponed from version to version since 24. As for Firefox 25 for Android version, it was also published in the day. Separate release notes are available on the Mozilla website.

One of the great innovations is the arrival of a navigation mode "Guest" to afford to let a third party use its browser without access to passwords or open sessions. As usual, it is available for download directly from the publisher's website or through an up-to- date from an earlier version.
